Welcome to BMC Structural Biology published by BioMed Central
BMC Structural Biology is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in investigations into the structure and function of biological macromolecules.
BMC Structural Biology (ISSN 1472-6807) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, Scopus, EMBASE, Thomson Scientific (ISI) and Google Scholar.
BMC Structural Biology 2008, 8 :5
Prediction of functional sites in protein structures by Dynamic Perturbation Analysis is markedly quicker and done with comparable accuracy when entropy is estimated rather than measured directly, which is ideal for web servers and high-throughput analyzes.
